*How You Can Fight Climate Anxiety*
Oct 21, 2022
In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at how
you can fight climate anxiety. Specifically, I look at the root causes
of eco-anxiety and climate anxiety, why climate anxiety might only
become more prevalent, and then offer up some ideas on how to cope and
move through eco and climate anxiety.
*Climate anxiety resources you might find helpful :*

*Making Sense of the Meaning Crisis | John Vervaeke*
454 views Oct 20, 2022 John Vervaeke is a cognitive scientist at the
University of Toronto and world renowned thinker, bridging science and
spirituality in order to understand the experience of meaningfulness:
how to cultivate it and why it’s crucial for human beings.
@John Vervaeke joins me to discuss “the meaning crisis”—the global
phenomenon of modern humans having access to so much, and yet so little
profundity. Referencing neurobiology, faith and behavioural science,
John explains the impact the meaning crisis is having on individuals all
around the world, and what to do about it.
We then explore its intersection with the metacrisis, and the historical
traditions which are the root of our global energy, economic and climate
crisis. Critically, John says we cannot solve the climate crisis without
addressing the cultural forces driving the meaning crisis

*Can Focusing On Climate Change Help Win Elections?*
By Maggie Koerth
OCT. 17, 2022,
“Our generation grew up watching as the climate crisis got worse and
worse and politicians did nothing.” That might sound like a quote from
teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, but it’s actually the opening line
for a new series of political ads appearing in multiple states in the
lead-up to the 2022 midterms — ads that the advocacy groups Climate
Power Action and the League of Conservation Voters are hoping will tip
the scales towards climate-focused Democrats...
- -
Historically, however, climate change has not been much of a political
kingmaker. Even when candidates trusted that their constituents did care
deeply about the environment, it hasn’t been something that reliably
changed votes. In the 2020 presidential election, for example,
two-thirds of voters told exit pollster Edison Research that climate
change was a “serious problem” — but 29 percent of that same group voted
for then-President Donald Trump, a candidate whose position on climate
change was … inconsistent … at best.
- -
Young people have the strongest beliefs about the reality of climate
change and the need to take action on it, said Charlotte Hill, a
professor of political science at the University of California,
Berkeley. That trend is so strong that it even crosses party lines:
Forty-seven percent of voting-age Republicans under 30 told Pew in May
that the government was doing too little to combat climate change,
compared to just 18 percent of Republicans 65 and older. But young (and
particularly young, left-leaning) voters are such good targets for these
ads because they are also the age group least likely to turn out for a
midterm election. And “it’s also pretty consistent that the top reason
that young people cite for not voting is not liking the candidates or
the issues,” Hill said.
Targeting the people who care the most about climate change, and are the
least likely to just go out and vote on their own, with ads that tell
them politicians are actually acting on their desires can produce the
kind of small differences that tip the scales in some elections, Hill
and Vavreck said.
But the LCV campaign took this one step further, by targeting ads at 2
million specific voters who live in the districts where that tiny margin
of change will matter the most, including seven states where the
statewide Senate race is a tight one — Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, New
Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The model is based off of
similar microtargeting work from the 2020 presidential election, when
the goal was to persuade undecided voters who cared a lot about climate
issues to cast their ballot in favor of Biden, said Pete Maysmith,
senior vice president of campaigns at LCV. Those voters approved of
Trump more than Biden, but the targeted ads seem to have convinced at
least a portion of them to vote Democrat. Based on post-election surveys
and a controlled experiment, LCV believes they increased Biden’s vote
margin by 5.6 percentage points, relative to the control population.
Nobody knows yet how big a difference the group will be able to make
with this latest round of micro-targeted ads. But evidence suggests that
small can be big, and that fact changes the stakes on climate change
advertising.

*Greta Thunberg: 'I'm not an angry teenager'*
45,660 views Oct 18, 2022 Environmental activist Greta Thunberg told
the BBC's Amol Rajan she is not 'an angry teenager' but says she is
often portrayed as one. Thunberg says this couldn't be further from the
truth, saying she is amused by this perception.

*Crop Production and Climate Impacts*
Climate Change Will Slow Midwest Yield Increases for Corn, Soybeans, Wheat
10/20/2022
Chris Clayton, DTN Ag Policy Editor
DES MOINES (DTN) -- Midwest farmers will struggle more in the coming
years to hit the yield increases they have come to expect over the past
generation.
A new report released Wednesday by Environmental Defense Fund at the
World Food Prize Borlaug Dialogue looked at corn, soybean and wheat
yields. The analysis used 20 different computer models to analyze how
climate change will alter yields in Iowa, Minnesota and Kansas by 2030
and 2050.
By 2030, nearly all counties in Iowa will see corn yields that are more
than 5% lower than they would have been without climate change. More
than half will see declines of 10% or greater.
More than half of Minnesota counties will see soybean yields drop by
more than 5% from what they would have been without climate change. As
many as 12 counties in the state will see soybean yields decline more
than 10% by 2030.
In Kansas, counties will see winter wheat yields drop by more than 5%
from what they would otherwise be without climate change. Some counties
in the state will see yield declines of as much as 16%. Still, the
models show some counties in Kansas also will see wheat yields increase
as much as 25%.
The models show yields would continue to grow, but see more year-to-year
variability and yield fluctuations. Some parts of each state are
affected more negatively than others as well. The modeled yields include
assumptions about innovations, technology and factored in expected
emission reductions to aid the climate...

*Eerie, quiet and so much smoke: Darrington mayor reflects on hazardous
air quality*
OCT 20, 2022

"It's like a light fog throughout the community," Rankin said. "Some of
the street lights are on and definitely have that pungent wildland fire
smell about us. Visibility [is] maybe four of our really short town
blocks, and then it kind of vanishes into gray."
Rankin says that, in the 61 years he's lived in Darrington, he's never
seen so much smoke in his community. People are trying to cope the best
they can by staying inside.
"It's a real quiet and almost eerie atmosphere throughout the
community," Rankin said...

/[The news archive - looking back at a media blunder ]/
/*October 22, 2006*/
October 22, 2006: Newsweek's Jerry Adler acknowledges that his magazine
dropped the ball in April 1975 when it ran a story claiming that global
cooling was on the horizon--a story that went against the scientific
evidence of the era pointing to global warming.
